Mining pools are a group of nodes that cooperate with the objective of mining blocks from a blockchain. The purpose of this grouping is to facilitate the mining work and obtain equitable benefits for all within the group.
The creation of these groups responds to the need to be able to satisfactorily solve the puzzles of a blockchain as the power of its network and the difficulty of mining increases. A job that individually would be very difficult for each miner to do.
